Chapter 3 Three

GIANNA RAINE

"Gianna, is that you, sweetie?"

I stopped walking. I turned to the voice and saw Mom. She smiled when she realized it was really me.

"Mom," I greeted. I walked up to her and supported her. I heard from the servants that she hasn't been doing well...her legs, specifically.

When we were kids, Mom got into an accident, and we almost lost her.

It was my fault.

Even though Dad and Gio always tell me it wasn't, I know deep down that it was my fault.

"Why are you walking without your nurse? You might get hurt, Mom." I helped her until she sat on the sofa.

"I can still walk. My legs only hurt when I stand or walk for too long, but I can manage." Mom smiled at me. "I'm just happy to see you. When did you get back?"

"Yesterday."

Mom's eyes widened. "Yesterday? And you didn't find time to visit your mother?"

The moment she said that, I wanted to leave. In our family, Mom is the only one who is expressive and emotionally aware. From my father to me and Gio, all of us lack that. And right now, I'm the most defective of all.

I sat beside her. I lifted her legs onto my lap and massaged them. There were scars on her skin, it's not noticeable unless you look closely. And those scars reminded me that it was all my fault.

I clenched my jaw, making sure my mother couldn't see any emotion on my face.

"You don't have to do that, sweetie," Mom said. "I'm fine."

I didn't say anything. Mom may say she's fine, but I know she's not. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have had that accident. If only she had let me handle things back then.

While I was massaging Mom's legs to relax her muscles and nerves, she held my hand. I looked at Mom, and she gave me another warm smile.

"What's wrong, Gia?"

My jaw tightened at her question. "Nothing," I answered briefly.

Mom's smile softened with a hint of sadness. "I know something's bothering you. I'm your mother, so I can tell when you're thinking about something or feeling sad. I hope one day you'll let me be a part of your life, Gianna."

I frowned. "I'm okay, Mom. Nothing's wrong. This is just how I always look."

I know Mom isn't buying it. She can read me even when I try not to show anything.

If I can take care of the baby in my womb properly, will I be able to be a good mother like her? I'm not sure.

When Mom's nurse arrived, I decided it was time to leave. I just told her I had something else to do.

I was about to go upstairs when I ran into Dad. My eyes widened in surprise. I didn't expect to see him but I quickly hid it. I controlled my emotions and wore my usual cold, expressionless face.

"Gia, you're here. I heard you arrived yesterday, but I didn't see you."

Atty. Agatone Locatelli is my father. He's the mastermind of our organization in his prime, before my brother took over.

"Dad..." I didn't know how to face him. If anyone could read me and my brother, it would be him. Even Mom has her limits. "Yes, yesterday. I couldn't see you because I was busy."

I walked up to Dad and kissed him on the cheek. I avoided looking into his eyes because it felt like looking at my own reflection. Also, I didn't want him asking if something was wrong.

"I'm going to rest now."

I started to leave, but he called me again.

"Gianna..." I looked back at my father, who looks so much like us. "I'm glad you're here. I hope you'll stay a little longer this time."

I felt something unusual when I heard those words. I was surprised to hear that from him.

I placed my hand on my chest. It feels warm. I took a deep breath and left for my room. Too bad I couldn't stay any longer.

I packed my things because I'm leaving for Pennsylvania.

After packing my things into my bag, I sat down at my laptop. I started working, planning to finish all the important tasks I had.

I was busy when I suddenly opened a file I didn't expect to be included in the emails from Gio's office.

It was his schedule from last year. Not that I'm stalking my own brother, but I found something that caught my attention.

Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Why was my brother going to Pennsylvania?

There were no details, so I immediately called my secretary. She's excellent at gathering information, which is why I rely on her so much.

"Lady G..."

"Veronica, can you find any information about why my brother is going to Pennsylvania? I want to know if he's visiting someone or if it's purely business."

I waited a moment, and soon I received an email from my secretary. She had probably contacted my brother's secretary, and since I was the one asking, they gave her the details.

I opened the email and raised my eyebrows at what I saw.

My brother meets with Constantine De Graaf whenever he goes to Pennsylvania. Why? What are they discussing? My brother knows this man, but I've never met him.

I became even more curious about who this Constantine De Graaf was. On top of that, I couldn't help but imagine how my brother would react if he knew there was a possibility this man could be my baby's father.

I still wasn't sure if he really was the father. All I had was his business card. I couldn't even remember the face of the man I had a one-night stand with. I needed to confirm it.

I slept that night, and the next day I didn't waste any time, I went straight to Pennsylvania.

My mother's sad that I am leaving, but I told her it would only be for a short time. After this, I would go on a longer vacation to spend time with them.

On the way to Pennsylvania, I thought about how I would talk to Constantine De Graaf. Maybe I could use my brother's name, since they always communicate with each other anyway.

I checked in at a hotel and left my things there. I didn't bring much, since I'd only be there a few days, or maybe just one.

I didn't waste any time. After checking in, I immediately left to go to D.G. Airways.

When I arrived at the company, I went to the front desk. They asked if I had an appointment.

"I don't, but can you please tell them that a representative of Gioseffo Locatelli is here? This is urgent."

The moment they heard the surname Locatelli, they immediately called their boss's secretary.

The company is huge. Now I understand why D.G. Airways is considered one of the best airlines. I just never booked a flight with them before.

"You may enter now, Miss. 15th floor."

I nodded and went inside. They gave me a visitor's pass but didn't take my ID.

On the 15th floor, someone met me and said that Constantine De Graaf was in a meeting, so I would need to wait for a few minutes.

"That's fine, I don't mind," I said.

I sat in the waiting lounge. They offered me drinks and snacks, but I didn't touch them.

"Miss, you may go in now."

I stood up and followed the woman. She led me into a large office, which I assumed belonged to Constantine De Graaf.

When I entered, he had his back to me. He was on the phone, so he hadn't noticed me yet. I saw his nameplate:

Constantine De Graaf, CEO

After he finished his phone call, his secretary came over and mentioned me.

"Locatelli, huh?"

He slowly turned around and my eyes widened in shock when I saw him.

What the f**k? "Elliott?!"

Like me, Elliott looked equally surprised.

"Miss Gianna?"

I glanced at the nameplate again. There is no mistake.

How is it possible that Elliott, my brother's ex-bodyguard, is the same Constantine De Graaf I've been looking for?

Does this mean... my brother's ex-bodyguard is the man who got me pregnant?!
